Membership with Meaning
In order to become socially, environmentally and economically sustainable, travel companies in the Northwest need access to shared resources that will help their businesses survive and thrive. Marketing, consumer recognition, education, collaboration and advocacy are critical for any business’ long‐term success, but these are expensive for small businesses to attain on their own.
By working with a shared resource that provides these key components, business owners and employees can leverage their limited resources to grow and enhance their business.
